3. Although the flashlight is designed to be left on charge continuously, there is an exception, if the
surrounding temperature is below 10°F charging is not recommended.
4. There are special considerations to note when using the rechargeable multi-cell batteries that operate
the flashlight. If the battery is subjected to repeated and extensive overly deep discharge (such as an
aggressive conditioning procedure) which runs the battery down completely on a regular basis the
battery can suffer a voltage reversal in one of the individual cells. This can cause a buildup of pressure
within the cell which can lead to a venting of electrolyte, cell damage, and possible early battery failure.
Additionally, should the pressure relief vent on the top of the battery become damaged the pressure
buildup could cause the cell to burst causing damage to the flashlight and the possibility of personal
injury.
5. To obtain the safest and longest life from your rechargeable product Streamlight, in conjunction with
the leading manufacturers of NiCd and NiMH batteries offers the following recommendations:
A. Do not periodically "condition" or "exercise" your flashlight battery despite what you may have been
told about nickel-cadmium "memory." The actual existence of "memory" in a battery used under the
conditions of flashlight service is extremely unlikely. Streamlight specifically discourages a regular
cycle of deep discharging, which is not only unnecessary, but will greatly shorten battery life and could
lead to a hazardous battery failure.
B. Rarely there may be a small leakage of alkaline electrolyte from the safety vent on top of the cell. It
appears as a powdery substance and can affect the integrity of the electrical contact. We recommend
that your battery be periodically inspected and the contact area wiped clean. Use caution when handling
a battery that has leaked. The electrolyte is a strong caustic and can burn or irritate the skin and eyes.
